Default "Rolling" fenders.

Well. I have the new Boxster wheels mounted, and Jason- you are dead correct.

I notice some slight rubbing at the rear during cornering (and at higher speeds when the butt squats..) \

i would rather NOT modify the 924S- are there any other options?

the pics- she sure looks a LOT better!!
Old VS New:




FWIW- I know these are standard Boxster wheels, I'm simply stating they came OFF OF a 98 Boxster S (M637?) option. The Tongue wheels were an option for the M637 IIRC.

The other option that comes to mind is to put 205's on the rear wheels too....

These are your only options, unless u can score another set of the 16x6's.

Rolling the fenders is not that tough to do, I can help you if needed.

I cant believe how "updated" it looks.. and she's happy with a TON of new parts.. the 8mm wires make a helluva difference!

3" and 5" more contact???? I'd say less than an inch total on the front (10mm each side) and a little over 2.5" on the rear (30mm each side).

I love the look of these wheels on this car...nice choice Chris!!!

What are the offsets? Why do the rears rub? I don't get any rub from the 8" wide D90s with 225 wide tires on the rear of my car. At least not that I have noticed.

I got to tell you Chris your car looks allot better than your avatar. You know that you are known by the company you keep. You really might want to "low profile" that stuff!
